University of Luxembourg

Demographics: 89,184 Participants

Focus the Lens: Europe

  • There are 40,797 participants from Europe which is the most comparing to other continents as we saw

  • They institute roughly 46% of all the respondents

  • These individuals are generally paid in € which makes the comparison straightforward and sensible

  • I’d also use the “latest” publicly available dataset of average annual income of EU countries from eurostat to compare developer’s income with average of all industries
